Hi,

  Just a thought, but I suspect that you may be lowering the flaps at too high
an airspeed.  If you do, you get a very innocuous "FLAPS JAMMED" message in
the text bar in the lower left, but that's about it.  I personally find it
kinda hard to get the jets to go slow enough after one of my famous "meteor"
approaches from 15,000 ft (I usually idle the throttle and loop it; that slows
it down :-), but dropping the gear can be done at a higher airspeed than you
can lower flaps, and it slows you down some...
